Liletta: Knitted "Fur" Stole For Vintage Barbie (Autumn trails fur coats)

Tip! Other types of fur coats can be worn when it is chilly outside and it is not going to keep warm when the temperatures dip down to a very cold temperature. Check out the fur coat you are considering purchasing, and think about where she will be wearing that coat before you actually make up your mind on the coat you are going to purchase.

Cut white, join in pink and work another ten rows. Repeat white and pink section once more; do not cut pink (40 rows completed). Knit one row. Cast off firmly purlwise. Do not stretch stole but let curl naturally, as it will. Weave ends.

Tip! From around the world, men, and women are wearing fur coats and fur clothing. This takes us back to a time when fur was worn to keep warm, before homes were built.

The cast off edge will curve around the neck. The cast on edge, which is slightly looser, will be the lower edge. For lining, draw outline of stole onto pattern tracing fabric (sheer type). Add seam allowance of 5mm. Turn under allowance to wrong side of silk and tack (baste). Press lightly under cloth. Slipstitch lining to stole, omitting the two short ends for now.
